Quebec City

Our hotel the Auberge Saint Antoine 

Flew into Quebec and made it there by lunch time.  

Ive really been looking forward to this part so Ive splurged a bit on the hotel here (Even though we havent exactly been slumming it) Its one of those boutique hotels so it sometimes can go either way but Im fastidious about researching where we stay so I was pretty confident.

Quebec has the modern city and then the old town which is encapsulated in a massive stone wall.  Were staying in the old town.  Its so quaint, feels just like being in Paris, only less crowded.  Everything is picture perfect.  As yet I havent even seen a starbucks, costco, tim hortons, etc, etc, thank goodness!

So we get to the hotel.  Id already emailed this one and had a confirmation about adjoining rooms so it wasnt going to be a problem.  When we go to check in, I was told those lovely little words that all travellers love to hear 'Mrs Holland were giving you an upgrade to our best suite', in a french accent.  Apparently the rooms Id booked were near some renovations so they chose to move us.

This is the web site for where we staying.  www.saint-antoine.com 

When we walked in the room we where blown away.  It has a separate living room with cocktail area, separate dressing room, split level down into our bedroom that has exposed stone wall, velvet drapes, beautiful upholstered furniture and bedhead and Terrace.  Very Euro Chic. The bathroom even has a heated tile floor.  The girls are right next door and even their regular room is really stunning.

Anyway I know Im raving on a lot about the hotel but you all know how much a good hotel means to me!!!

We went out to grab something to eat but it was about minus 6 and the girls decided to go back to the room but Adam and I went for a walk for a couple of hours exploring.  

As the girls didnt want to go out for dinner we went to the local marche and got fromage, jambon, baguette and lots of other yummy things and had an antipasto dinner in the suite.  Yum!
